Dark Chocolate Mushrooms are reshaping the wellness world by offering a legal, delicious way to enhance creativity, clarity and emotional intelligence. Backed by science and handcrafted with functional mushroom extracts like Lion’s Mane and adaptogens, these non-psychedelic edibles are helping artists, entrepreneurs, and everyday people unlock their full potential — one chocolaty square at a time.

Edibles are the new frontier for the intersection of food and psychedelics, whether for microdosing, party vibes or just to taste a little bit more delicious than a cup of tea. The proliferation of mushroom-infused edibles has even led to a new cookbook devoted to the topic, authored by K and Virginia Haze, a husband-and-wife team that grows psilocybin mushrooms and writes their own recipes for making Michelin-grade psychedelic mushroom edibles.

Mushroom chocolates are fortified with various ingredients, including fruits (mulberry, chokeberry and elderberries), spices, phytosterols, peanut oil, probiotics (mainly Lactobacillus, bacillus spice and Leuconostoc messenteroid) and prebiotics (inulin). Fortification is also used to improve physical properties such as viscosity and rheological characteristics of the finished product, while simultaneously reducing its calorie content.

Dark Chocolate Mushrooms: A Delicious Way to Microdose

The key to making these edibles is preserving the active compounds in the mushroom powder, which is done by slow melting of the chocolate with a bain marie and then stirring in the dried mushrooms until it’s a uniform mixture. Then, you can either roll it into small balls to make truffles or use a chocolate mold to create a mushroom-shaped sweet.
